WALDMANNLI

    I spent newyear in this chalet in the swiss mountains in Sedrun, Bündnerland. While searching for tales out of this region i found this one of a «Waldmannli» (small man out of the forest)

    In a small mountaintown in Graubünden there lived once a juryman. One day this man found a very bizzare animal in his garden as he has never seen one before. It was a small furry, black animal, with a red nosed snout and big claws but eyes so small it seemed it could not open them and with small sharp vampirelike teeth. He put this creature in a box and wandered in the village to find out what he has found. But no one knew what it was. Not even the books. So the towneldest decided to announce a gathering of all the villagers and mountainpeople. But still nobody had ever seen such a thing. So after long discussions they then decided that it would be best to kill this thing. On the way how to do it they couldn't agree. That's when the Waldmannli stepped forward and asked to have a look at he beast...
    which he at once recognised as a harmless mole. Smirkingly he suggested to the villagers to burry it alife. Pleased of this easy, simple and even chep way they burried it alife in the jurymans garden where it has been found.
    Broadly grinning the Wldmannli walked off and the mole strated digging the garden till it looked like an acnefaced teenager.

    Happy 2010 to ya all! Stay with your eyes and heart open!! Liebi Grüess ad Sylvesterpossy! Yo Jo! Merci 2010x Chicco!

      Su trabajo tiene algo de grabado en madera, llamado xilogravura, un arte típico en el nordeste de Brasil. Muy bueno.
